I recently decided I was going to refurbish these myself as a project as they don’t fit me anymore. I bought these back in 2020, and I enjoyed them very much, Marsblade O1s are known for simulating the feeling of gliding on ice with their blade-rocker technology.
As I refurbished them, I had removed scuffs and sanitized the interior and exterior of the boots with isopropyl alcohol, along with the wheels and tried to repair superficial damages like removing damaged emblems and such. I had also replaced a few wheel bearings and applied fresh Howie’s Hockey Laces that look very sleek with the cyan accents of the Marsblade O1s. I also loosened the rockers (they’re adjustable) as much as possible (out of preference) though they’re able to be tightened.
There are slight imperfections to the appearance of the skates, namely that some of the leather accents and emblems of the boots are weathered, along with the exterior toe of each boot. However these do not affect the actual mechanics of the skates.
The worst imperfections I’m aware of are two minor splits, one on each blade around the front of the skate just above the wheel. They are completely invisible besides when the wheels are unscrewed, they do not affect the performance of the skate though it is still something to be considered before purchasing.
I also am bundling several tools I had used in order to repair the skates along with utilities that came with the Marsblades when I bought them new, including two special wheels that have never been used along with fresh laces (already applied) and a sheet of Howie’s Hockey stickers that came for free with them (as I don’t have a use for them and I think somebody would enjoy them.) The repair utilities are two multitools and skate bearings and screws.
All this will be packaged inside the original Marsblade box.
I do not remember if these are Junior or Senior sized, however I know that the tongue of the boot says “6.5”.
